NATIONAL BIODIESEL DAY

The first annual National Biodiesel Day took place on March 18, 2002, the date of Rudolf Diesel’s birthday. Diesel designed his engine in the late 1800s and presented it at the World’s Fair in 1900. He originally designed the diesel engine to run on peanut oil; only later did petroleum become the standard.



In a 1912 speech, Diesel said "the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today, but such oils may become in the course of time as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time."



As Diesel’s vision comes full circle with rapid expansion of biodiesel use, the biodiesel industry chose his birthday to honor him for his foresight.

Imagine that!!

I'm a little bored and restless today, Rusty....World events have me feeling kinda down and uncomfortable. I'm so tempted to post this fart gif I've been saving for a long time........but i'm trying to be a good girl and maintain some dignity.....

......but it would be on topic, wouldn't it ....It's all gas.....

I Can Crochet Day

The origin of crochet is up for grabs. China? Turkey? North Africa? The word "crochet" comes from the French work croc (meaning hook), but there is no record of this needlework before the 1800s. Written instructions were being published in the 1840s, but most patterns were handed down through family and friends. Girls were taught to crochet holding the hook like a pencil because it was considered graceful. They know today that holding the hook in the palm of your hand cuts down on carpal tunnel problems.

Thanks,Bob...I needed that....And I need this...

Out of the mouths of babes. LOL

3-year-old, Reese: "Our Father, Who does art in
heaven, Harold is His name." Amen


A 3 yr old boy went with his father to see a new litter of puppies. on
returning home, he breathlessly in formed his mother "There were 4 boy
puppies and 3 girl puppies." How did you know that?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked under them," he replied. "I think it's
printed on the bottom."

I was just thinking last night that I would like to start crocheting again...And hooking. (rugs that is)
Productive and therapeutic. Cheaper than a shrink. (Sorry, Jenni!)
